The part in the books where Tim tosses the baby raptor into the group of adults hoping it will distract them, and then the adults RIP the baby to pieces as it screams really messed me up. I’m pretty sure I cried the first time I read that part.
Yes, exactly this. It's something only a novel could depict with that magnitude and I'll take that one chapter over anything depicted in the movies hands down.
And the fact that he felt like daggers we're being stabbed into his skull from the pain of the venom. Every moment he wasted not getting back into his car was gut wrenching and frustrating.
The death of Jon Hammond. So close to the road where other survivors were, yet too far to be heard. And the way he just drifted off due to the compys bite having a lidocaine effect. All because a twisted ankle. Its not horror scary, but a deep seeded fear of dying helplessly, so close to being saved.
Epic Ocelot Man : a good point 👍👍 it is ironic too that he ended up in that predicament, as his grandkids were playing with the controls of a recorded T-Rex roar that scared Hammond so much that he ran and fell.
King's death in The Lost World really stood out to me. He gets chased by raptors, thinks he's about to make it, then just gets knocked over, and calmly accepts he's going to die. The description of his death down to the moment he hears his own neck bones crunching in the raptor's mouth made me shudder.
Honestly, The Lost World really benefits in some ways from the Changes made in the film. If I were to adapt the second novel, I'd blend the versions together. It really doesnt make sense that BioSyn arrive on the island with only three guys and not a single weapon. A big company like that would certainly also arrive with a team of heavily armed mercs
@@Carl.Henriksson how did you find time to comment on this if you watch every single one? I mean there are "literally none" and i can't think of how else you would know that. Besides, there's tons in comparison to these novels. These are not scary books or horror classics in anyway, there's potential but then some edgelord shit like kill #2 on this list happens and its like *sigh" Crichton you are trying way to fucking hard mate
The huge difference between movie and book Hammond always struck me. Richard Attenborough is such a pleasant, genial, likeable fellow that I think it made his character completely different! He actually cares for his grandkids instead of viewing them as an annoying necessity to prove the park's "suitability". His concerns lie more with achieving scientific greatness than with making money. And his stubborn inability to listen to naysayers about the park's safety concerns comes more from a dogged, childish optimism than a blatant disregard for safety over his drive to achieve a legacy before his death. Because of all the changes to his character, I feel this has shifted much of the blame of series "villain" to Alan Wu. I found myself surprised when so many fans absolutely LOATHED Wu and were calling for an intensely grisly death for him in the next movie. But this was because I always viewed him as the reasonable scientist who got dragged along into Hammond's plans, trying to explain repeatedly along the way that there were problems and risks with the system. But I realized once you take out the element of Hammond ignoring Wu's warnings like the jack*ss he is in the novels, then so much more of the blame shifts to Dr. Wu's shoulders for the irresponsible decisions behind Jurassic Park. It's really a shame, because while I love Hammond's character in the movie (as well as his satisfying comeuppance in the book), I always really liked Alan Wu as a character and felt he was one of the few people who tried to reign in Hammond's egomania from the very beginning. There's no telling what the park would have turned into if they had an even more immoral geneticist heading the project!
@@bluesira Agree completely. It is by far the biggest character change in the film. Just the fact that the film version of Hammond, after his conversation with Ellie in dining room, seems to take her words to heart and accepts his responsibility for what happened. Book Hammond never did that. It was all everyone else's fault.
@@bluesira I think you're right. It's also very important that the books and the films are considered different canon, as they are both good, but different, stories.
I still think Genaro's attempt to reset the generators is one of the better scenes in the book. Genaro is legit a badass in the novel, going so far as to help Muldoon hunt the Tyranosaur *with a rocket launcher.*
@@AJadedLizard For me this is one of the few cases where the novel and the movie are equally good, unlike The lost world, where I feel that the movie has a rhythm more consistent and characters like malcom has a better evolution, making it better
Another big one from the original book is the Rex stalking Grant, Tim, and Lex. The point where the Rex pushes its head through the waterfall and wraps its tongue around Tim's head and begins to drag him out is full-on terrifying.
That would have been so cool to see on screen! Problem is, I doubt tyrannosaur tongues were big, fleshy, or prehensile enough to actually pull that off.
@@Xbalanque84 If they were to do a TV show, they'd have the time to properly describe how what they have created aren't actually dinosaurs, but monsters created to stock a park with something as close as they could get. It's something Book!Wu complains about constantly, and Hammond points out when he talks about one of the animals in the park being the latest version they've created.
One scene that spooked me was the part where Grant, Tim, and Lex were on the raft. They were on the jungle river and passing by two dilophosaurs doing a mating ritual. I remember the mention of the smell of sour vomit--and that matched the description of how Nedry's corpse smelled when found by Muldoon and Gennaro. It made me wonder if Nedry's corpse wasn't too far and that Grant, Tim, and Lex, just didn't see it--but smelled the decomposition.
One scene from the novel that really stayed with me is the death of Howard King in the Lost World novel. It was so suspense driven describing how the man was energized by only fear and how he was running as fast as he could to get to the trees. This all comes to a holt when the velociraptors catch up and tear and slash away at him.
One of the more frightening scenes from the book for me had to be when the younger T-Rex attacks a man. I forget who the character was exactly, might have been the lawyer, but the scene is freaky for how innocent it starts with the young Rex basically messing with the guy, and you know something terrible is gonna happen. Then it just maims the poor guy out of nowhere after he tried to shoo it off. It’s not super gory or anything, just suspenseful because you basically know he’s doomed.
The part that I still remember from first reading it when I was 12 is when (I think Muldoon) later finds the remains and picks up Regis' severed leg, still with sock and boot/shoe in tact, lets it drain a bit, then wraps it in paper and puts it in the Jeep.
@@beerosaurusrex I remember seeing a similar scene in the original film when I saw it in theaters. Muldoon says, "I think this was Genaro" and the camera shows a severed leg with a sock and shoe, but the scene was not in the VHS and subsequent releases. I clearly remember it and so does my dad and other family members. I have a few friends that remember it and a few that do not.
Surprised they didn't include the Trex chasing them through the woods while on the river only leading to an open lake where they think it's too deep for the Rex... Until it walks in, disappears and swims towards them
I'm not surprised. Spielberg notoriously hated working with animatronics in the water since he had so many struggles filming Jaws. Even the T-Rex in the rain scene gave them major problems!
I think the scariest part of the first book(I’m only about a 1/3 of the way done) so far is when Malcolm talks about how at some point animals figured out that humans were easy to kill. Then he asks if the Raptors have figured it out already. Literally sent chills down my back
Hammond's death scene has always been a moving one for me; the image of the fallen industrialist, scared and alone in the jungle he owned, and eaten alive by his own monstrous children, is striking. The raptor attack on the building where they're all hiding with Malcolm, particularly when they are gnawing through the bars, is super suspenseful. King's death is another one of those, "and everything went black" scenes. But the one that is truly terrifying is when King is explaining the trends in the biotech industry, and says something to the order of "if you haven't made it by the age of 35, then you're never going to make it." I read that when I was six years old, and I have been terrified of failure ever since :)
@@DeeRose54 oh I never noticed that, he made the compys to eat the poop, so they were allowed to kinda just roam the island, he falls down a hill and the compys eat him, symbolizing him as the waste
Don't be afraid of failure. It's just another opportunity to learn. I'm 38, and had a very successful career in the military and related fields, until I was wounded and lost my leg and a few organs, and literally died. Death didn't take though, and I came back after being declared death for 15 minutes... I was already turning cold, according to the docs. Now? I'm clawing my way back into... something. I'm still here, still alive, still fighting. Some would call what happened failure. Nah. I spent a good part of my life as a part of a worldwide community of bad motherfuckers, doing shit they make movies about... and now I have a new lesson to learn and a new purpose to discover. A new community to be a part of. I didn't lose anything from my former life... I still have all that, within and without. My friends are a big part in my recovery, urging me on in everything I do, and pointing out skills I have that I never considered (I'm a very good gunsmith, kit builder, and I'm heavily involved with the local vet community, as well as training new recruits independently)... I didn't fail, just shifted objectives. You only fail if you give up. I someone like me can claw his way back from literal death, you can do it as well.
I have to say the baby's death was the most impactful for me being a writer my self there are usually lines we can't break in graphic or horror such as you can't kill dogs you can't kill old people and especially you can't kill baby's but after reading that scene it taught me "no everything is fair game"
That sounds pretty fake. No one has ever established "lines" writers can't cross. Numerous writers have dreamed up the deaths of innocents, kids, dogs, etc. and have been doing so for years. Maybe if you're only reading y.a. novels those lines exist.
Not even a dinosaur scene, but the part where Sarah gets pushed into the ocean from the boat. The suspense and build up, and then the sheer terror of being in the middle of the deep ocean with who knows what beneath the surface are just fantastic. The panic of being driven towards the sharp rocks by the pounding waves, the way Sarah is tossed about and swallows water is really well written. I think it's a very underated scene in the book, and one that made me appreciate Sarah (novel Sarah Harding that is) even more as a character. I wish they had made movie Sarah like her.
Vicki Mew : that was so very intense. To me when she has only a slight chance to survive and those forceful waves are pounding her nearly against the cliff is 😱‼️ I liked her strength during that time.
To say nothing of Dodson just knocking her overboard out of nowhere. I was as surprised as Sarah when the sea and sky suddenly switched places and she was in freefall.
The horror-filled aspects of the novels, while obviously not adapted 100% for the films, I think gives them their most unique quality, which is that they're half horror movies. Outside of its other issues, JPIII doesn't really have any horror moments in it like the previous two films did, which both start as somewhat light-hearted before eventually spiraling into chaos and bloodshed. Combined with the scientific aspect, the novels have helped Jurassic Park from simply being "just another dinosaur movie".
I disagree. As a whole it’s the weakest film in the franchise, but the spinosaur gave some decent thrills, and the set designers used the aviary well to maximize the fright via the pteranodons.
@@curts7801 Yeah, but the elements they used in JPIII were classic 'monster movie' tropes, which is exactly what Spielberg and Crichton wanted to avoid. They said over and over again that it was a horror story with living animals, not a story about a monster. They wanted to distinguish it from stories like King Kong. But the tropes and cliches in JPIII just ring pure monster movie to me: the 'going back to save lost person or item' cliche, the spino attack on the airplane, its relentless and vengeful pursuit of the main characters, the absurdity of talking and gloating raptors captivated with the main character; It was just all too much! While the movie had like two decent scenes, it broke WAY too many of the JP "Don't"s for me.
bluesira I confess I have completely forgotten that Crichton was hellbent on bringing realistic animal behavior to his stories. Now that you mention it, why SHOULD a very massive adult spinosaurus be chasing down a small batch of clearly highly evasive and rather small organisms? The beast should have had 2 scenes max.
@@curts7801 That's what I thought: have the spinosaurus try to slurp them out of the plane like a toothy anteater, maybe the scene where they turn & see him just standing in the field staring at them (that one was pure freaky), and the one where spinosaurus goes through the water. I believe there was some ret-conned explanation that the spinosaurus was either A) one of the early dinosaurs with DNA/behavior modified for greater aggression, or B) it was incredibly territorial and when the plane crashed in the spinosaur's territory, it posed a threat that needed to be eliminated at all costs (much like the adult t-rexes protecting the baby rex in Lost World). Your best guess is as good as mine!
The fact that she manages to wrap her tongue around Tim's head and starts pulling him towards its mouth really creates an air of hopelessness for the kids, such a good scene
@@CaptainWaldoe To an extent, but the scene in the book was a lot more drawn out. And.. had some questionable details. Like the T=Rex's tong being slightly forked, and acting a bit like an elephant's trunk. Yea, of all the scenes in both books, this was the one that stuck out for me as well. The description of the saliva coating the pipes as it probed, and got closer and closer to the kids... worth a read.
6:00 he makes a good point. In the movies recently we KNOW that the main characters are going to live from the very beginning. There's no suspense left.
The novels are REALLY goddamn horrifying. Crichton’s depictions of just how brutal dinosaur attacks could’ve been just send chills down your spine. And let’s not forget about the Infant’s death scene from the first novel. That’s just.... woah....
This is actually is the one part I "flip through" when I re-read the novel. It's just so damn brutal. But I also have a "practical" problem with it, SIDS? Seriously, an infant is eaten alive by compys and you try to pass it off as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome? That's not how it works when a child suffers from SIDS. The parents would demand the childs body for burial and I think they would take notice.
@@johndogscorner9631 Agreed, it didn't. And it works quite well with the overall situation in Costa Rica described in the novel in relation to the "Isla Nublar incident". It is "sci-fi", different rules apply. Also you have to take into account "what else are you supposed to say"? "A bunch of strange bird-like lizards killed your child"? That wouldn't really work either. It would seem so outlandish that the nurse would be labled as the killer instead.
The death of Howard King in The Lost World is one of my favorites. “He had a moment of surprise when he felt the bones of his neck crunching loudly- And then blackness. Nothing.”
I always find the scene in which Grant and the kids have to sneak past the sleeping Rex and set the raft in the river to be incredibly tense in the first novel. A section from the second book I enjoy is Sarah and Dodgson stuck under the jeep as the T Rex approaches.
@@gkirk54 Well of course; he's the bad guy! He pushed Sarah off a boat! It was realizing that the situation was dire enough that the Good Guy would push someone out to the T Rex that made me think OHHHH NOOO IT JUST GOT REAL.
Thank you for recognizing how much more scarier the books are. When Crichton goes into description of how they could smell the T-rexs' breath smelled of blood and decay like a predators would because of how close it got to them, it sent chills up my back. Also, the scene In Jurassic world when the indominous is trying to sniff out Grady and you could see the blood and chunks of fresh and old meat in its teeth, I immediately though back to that scene in the book.
The scene when they discover the increasing number of the dinosaurs has always stood out to me. It's not necessarily the scariest, but it's one of the moments where one would say "Oh crap" over and over again as it goes on.
SHINOBI-03 I hope they add these scenes in JW3 also there are 2 criticisms you missed in your JP3 video is that the animatronics are stiff and the CGI is blurry. Also when is that FK video coming and what is the worst FK you had to watch for that video out also can you respond to balenaproductions terrible FK review?
Yeah, that was horror in numbers, not just on the computer screen but also the idea that there's WAY more dinos on the island than they had intended, setting a precedent of more to come down the line that could go wrong due to InGen oversight.
I like the PG-13 as well. I honestly think that they should do a remake. Both a PG-13 and an R-rated version of this story deserve to exist. (but of course they should first finish the Jurassic World trilogy)
nah, forget it...first of all i want a conclusion on the main 2 trilogies...then after that i would like some sort of prequel/seperate movie taking place in the same universum and getting a R rating...and even that is a maybe, since watching the jurassic park and jurassic world movies....really, i love movies like "the thing" and "get out" and zombie movies and the walking death and i think those are perfect thanks to their gore, but never once while watching any of the JP or JW movies i was thinking to myself "this needs more gore to be a better movie" If anything i rather have more character development, more talks about certain specific things as to how the park was build and on how the main characters in the JW movies end up where they are in the end, and see more dino action.
@@13thmistral I don't think it has to necessarily be about the gore, more about being stalked by a pack of troodons, or hearing a velociraptor screech far away, then some rustling in the bushes, and a velociraptor jumping you from behind. But apart from that I agree with you, the horror shouldn't take away character development and those deeper kinds of things.
I remember reading the first novel in elementary school and being VERY shocked at how different in tone the book was compared to the movie. Sure there was some scary parts in the movie (that damn Dilophosaurus scared the crap out of me as a kid), but the book was legitimately terrifying. Still loved the book.
Well it's because as he said everyone should be fair game and in the books they were not to mention the point the protagonists were brought too in the books literally feeding babies to velocorapters just to stay alive like actually dinos
In my school there’s these kids who chanted “ Harry Potter sucks Harry Potter sucks” and me being me I just kept walking in a circle thinking meh I’m gonna call them the Harry Potter sucks cult idk why but I just do
I found the scene where Tim and Lex get stuck outside the control room with the raptors creeping towards them quite tense. Same with the kitchen that, in the novel, is actually pitch dark due to the power outage and forces Tim to navigate it with his night vision goggles just to stand a chance against what's hunting him.
Most definitely, the scenes that scared me the most were the Camouflage Carnos (I was genuinely terrified when i read it) and the following scene where the raptors arrive and almost kill all of the group before they escape, clawing through the thin plywood walls and breaking through a door.
Howard King & Lewis Dodgson's deaths in The Lost World are haunting. King, I actually felt extremely sad and sympathetic towards because the guy did not deserve what he got, and just Crichton's description of his final moments were unlike anything I ever read for a character death. The man's knowledge from the medical field opens your eyes to some concepts and details you wish you never knew. And Dodgson's death was just brutal. I can't even imagine being in a situation like that.
he gets carried by the momma Rex back to her nest, where the baby T.Rex waits. He tries to escape, but the Rex just breaks his leg, and then stands over him, letting the baby eat in peace. Slowly. @@monssterific
@@mintyfresh9279 👁️👄👁️ That was a brutal one including Dennis Nedry’s final moments, I became interested with the novel after reading from the comments here in UA-cam that Jurassic Park novels were a lot horror than in the movies. Thank you for your reply
Love that you included the bit from the Sega game, where the T-Rex picks up the car and shakes it and the guy goes “Ahhhh!”. I never could beat that game, for a kid’s game, it was damn difficult. For the humans, I kept dying on the raft. For the raptors, I kept dying at the power plant.
With Grant, I got stuck at the sewer level or the Canyon, but either way: one picture in the paper manual showed the code tot the next level and allowed me to finish the game.
I remember somehow beating the game as Grant...the final fight with the raptors is a beast, and so many of the platforming parts just don't make immediate sense (you're climbing the Rex skeleton in at least one part of it). The raft wasn't really a problem for me, primarily through rote memorization. I just learned every trap point in the path, and got myself ready to do things like toss the flash grenade at the Rex, and then just gunned it out of that spot as fast as I could. The Power Plant stage as the raptor was my sticking point, too, IIRC. A shame, since I really wanted to see what came of beating the game as the raptor.
Couldn’t play that game as a kid. But I would just turn it on just see that awesome intro, and to hear the music being played while it tells you your objective while showing the whole island.
I would say I am surprised there were no mentions of any scenes in the book with the raptors. Because holy heck, those raptors if they were scary in the movies they are demons in the book. Even worse is they fact there are eight, instead of three.
The part where the raptors were biting the railings off from the window at the top of the room where everyone was. The stench that they gave off, and their salivas dripping off of the heavily dazed Ian Malcolm. That was f*ckin scary
One that got me was Ellie getting to the roof of the building and thinking she’s safe, only to have the raptors maneuver up the trees to get to the roof. When you get to a place and think you’re safe, only to find out you really aren’t.
I just got the book yesterday, I’m more than halfway through already! I can’t put it down! I’m 27 years old and have LOVED JP since I was a little kid. I can’t believe it took me this long to read the book, thank you sir for convincing me to finally read it.👍🏻
5:00 Hahahaha I remember some delivery guy brought some Mattel toy's for James and he opened the door and went" Hello there" and the delivery guy didn't even question the Hammond costume Hahahaha.
It wasn't the lawyer his name is Donald genaro her survived and is a very good character in the book it was ed Regis who was killed by the baby rex he worked at Jurassic park.
@@Basileus127 yeah dude when we first meet Ed Regis on the small costal town medical centre trying to help the worker that got torn to shreds by the raptor , you see hell do anything for Jurassic parks publicity including covering up that attack , I love these books!
Steven Spielberg will always be famous and will be acknowledged for directing one of the best film adaptations of the original Jurassic Park novel and bring to the screen one of the greatest films ever made. However Spielberg also has his major drawbacks, in the hands of another director the more horrific elements from Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park novelizations. would've been adapted rather than be altered because of Spielberg's preference to make things more widescale and family friendly. Spielberg was also criticized for making John Hammond (Sir Richard Attenborough) too Walt Disney like? Rather than the ruthless businessman with few morals other than making a fortune, as he was in the original novel.
I love the dark and brutal horror elements of the novels but Spielberg made the right choice. Jurassic Park is a timeless classic and a world famous family friendly movie because he made those changes. If he made it into an r-rated gory and brutal horror movie, it would not have been as successful.
Someone else might have gotten the more horror elements of the book nailed, but it wouldn't have had the sense of wonder and awe that Spielberg along with John William's score imbued the films with. I think the films still have plenty of pretty violent moments, to remind us these dinosaurs are not to be taken lightly. As a kid I could barely barely watch the movie as it scared me shitless during the intense moments. The film really captures the child-like wonder and yet terror of nature.
Read both books. The dinosaur violence was definitely toned down in the movies. The Costa Rican baby's death continues to stick in mind to this day. "Gargoyles" Also, wasn't Nedry's disembowelled and chewed body discovered later, blue entrails and all?
Yes. Nedry’s death was gory and graphic and exactly what you wrote-his mangled corpse is found later. Arnold finds it on video, and Gennaro and Muldoon see the actual body.
shame that the Indominus rex already stole Carnotaurus' thunder by giving it the camouflage ability in the movie before they decided to finally bring Carno in Fallen Kingdom. It would have made that animal more memorable
Lil late but my guess is the jw movies didnt want to give the "normal" dinosaurs any unnatural powers or abilities so that the hybrids can get more shock and aw value.
i do not see how ever though why they would not impement a camouflaging carnotaurus still though ? could still happen...personally i am afraid it wont, but nothing says the carnotaurus can actually not camouflage.
The death of Nedry is probably the one that got to me the most, even hearing it for the second time gave me chills, but other than that I think the way Dobbsin died in the lost world was pretty scary too, I know they kind of went over it with the way Ludlow dies at the end of the second movie, but I think the way they portrayed it in the book was much scarier. The way he tried to grasp at anything he could, digging and clawing at the muddy ground under the car with all his might as Sarah Harding pushed him out and the rex grabbing him by the leg pulling him into its jaws, then once at the nest the adult rex's make sure he can not get away by blocking both sides and snapping one of his legs, or was it both I cant remember now, before the juvenile jumps on his chest and tears at his face
I was like 10 when I read Jurassic Park for the first time and I was scared for weeks after reading Nedry’s death. Plus in the book the dilophosaur is like 10 foot or something scary as hell.
What I like about the books is that it captures the horror of what it would be like to live side by side with these animals. If they one day remake these movies, I'd like to see them be true adaptations of the books.
Honestly, nothing beats the baby scene from the first novel. It just.... disturbs me. It's probably because I actually like babies versus other human beings, but still.
I never read the novels, so you can imagine how learning of the baby's death in the novel caught me off guard. If I were to mention my horror at learning of the child orgy scene in Stephen King's original IT novel that thankfully never made it to the movies, that's how horrified I was at this scene, I can never unsee it..
For me, one of the scariest moments was when they checked the program checking the number of dinosaurs in the park, believing the program to be checking the total number of dinosaurs in the park. In reality it was programmed incorrectly to only search for the desired (or expected) number of dinosaurs in the park. Then when it was recalibrated or rewritten to work as intended (meaning to search for the total number) and the count of all the dinosaurs increased by quite a bit. It's not as gorey or as violent as a lot of the other scenes, but seeing it visualized and written in such a way you are going along with the revelation with the characters reach, definitely got my heart beating faster. I'm a big fan of the films, but the novels are something else entirely and worth as much, if not more praise.
I think it's less that it was programmed "incorrectly" and more that the dinosaurs were never supposed to breed in the first place. It was programmed exactly how they wanted, which was to ensure none of their creatures went missing. They never thought to set it for a total count of all dinosaurs, since to them it was more likely for one to die than for extras to exist.
One of my favourite moments in the books has always been one in the second novel, just after Sarah Harding arrives on the island and she happens upon a bunch of raptors fighting over a dead animal. Nothing has ever made me realize how brutal raptors are as much as when the older ones ripped the young one's guts right open and started eating him. Always gave me chills.
Like the roving gangs of teenage elephants murdering rhinos in African preserves a few years back. Without adults to establish a cohesive social hierarchy and etiquette, it's _Lord of the Flies._
In the first novel when I read about the 3 Procompsognathus that had intruded into a hospital and snuck their way into the baby room where a nurse walked in and saw the three of them huddled together eating a baby’s face off. Ooh that spooked me!
Still one of my favorite books of all time. Michael crighton was one of the best authors in my opinion. Jurassic park was a masterpiece of originality and thrilling adventures in a horrific setting. I wish I could have met him. He inspired me to tell stories.
I'm totally shooked right now...and I really want a Hard R rated remake or series. The current state of the films are very family friendly but can be suspenseful however, the 1st film feels a bit more horror like though. Anyways, I want to read these books now! I hope there are more horrifying events than just the ones stated above.
The Jurrasic P/W movies are most peoples first taste of horror as a kid. if anything i like how camp cretaceus is going more kid focused , main series is pg or pg 13, and we can get some stand alone jurassic r rated movies were the dinosaurs that were purchased or escaped can kill people.
Sarah Harding observing the raptors kill in the lost world was a scene that stuck with me. They were so savage and the idea of crazy raptors is truly terrifying
The part that got me the most tense in the first book was when Ellie left their shelter to lure in the raptors. It's been a while since I read the book so I don't remember exactly what happened, but those raptors were relentless!
You mean the part where Dr. Henry Wu got eviserated? He was trying to warn her that the raptors were playing along to distract her, while another found a way over the fence to ambush her. That part was creepy not just because of his death, but because of how smart they were in tricking her.
Personally I liked the way how incredibly more vicious the raptors were in the books, in the first book they straight up tear a youngling apart in the play pen looking for comfort from its adult counterparts and it screaming while its legs get torn off.
i think the baby veloceraptor getting killed by that other ones from the first book is the most gruesome and in my opinion scariest thing in the series
There are so many unsettling scenes in the books but the one that really set my heart racing was the reveal of the camouflaged carnotaurus's. They kept alluding to the fact that even the t-rex and raptors were avoiding that area and I kept wondering what was up with that. Then Thorne goes out for gasoline and starts piecing it all together and you realize the two carnotaurus have been there silently watching the whole time. I thought he was done for.
Most underrated scene IMO is when they first see the Raptor paddock. I haven't read the first novel in years but as I recall, Timmy or maybe Gennaro says something witty and sarcastic about the Raptors. The security worker watching them tells him sternly "be thankful for the fence". Something about that entire scene and the workers attitude and inability to even joke about them stayed in my mind for years. Especially that line
It was Malcolm...when the worker described them striking the fences repeatedly (probing for weaknesses, as we found out later) Malcolm said "Not too bright, are they?"
Sorry that I missed your post before I did mine. I usually look to see if someone posted something I want to comment about, before I actually do mine. I didn’t scroll down enough. 🤭 oops 🤦♀️ I claim it was a senior moment, sort of like a brain lapse.
Hands down, my favorite scene out of both books, has to be that moment when Muldoon is in the drainage tube with an empty rocket launcher, hoping that a raptor doesn't come around and bite him in the butt, because he didn't have a chance to check the other end of the tube before stuffing himself in. It's suspenseful and terrifying, and yet humerus in a rather cynical way.
For me, the whole sequence in the book where a bunch of characters (I forget precisely who) are stuck in the hotel/visitor center while the raptors get closer and closer to breaking in scared the hell out of me. Made me think of a classic horror movie scene with the killer trying to outsmart the victim and get into the house but so much scarier.
I was under the impression that the crew of the ship in The Lost World was wiped out by some camouflage dinos that had stowed away, but that they didn't have the tech to pull it off at the time of the film. Also fully agree with you about recommending the books I was not prepared for how good they were.
Honestly as terrifying as the novels can be my favorite park of the first novel was how Alan actually goes toe to toe with the raptors inside the visitor center actually outsmarting them with poisoned eggs
To add to the T.rex main road attack, just before the breakout with Tim seeing it with his night vision goggles and only when there's a lightning flash, like in Fallen Kingdom and then have it just stand there for a certain amount of time is overall scary to imagine. The deaths of Nedry and Arnold are both intense and suspenseful, and I remember the scene with Diego being killed and that moment was scary too because the character couldn't see the attacking dinosaurs and only hear them communicate back and forth.
The film and the book still scare the living hell out of me. The idea of animals like this living millions of years ago scares me but the idea of these things being brought back scares me even more.
The sceen in TLW when R.B (Arby) locks himself in the predator cage and the raptors manage to pull it down from the High hide and carry it off. That one really got my heart pumping with the story swapping between Kelly and Sarah going after the raptor that had the key and Thorn and Levine chasing after the rest of the pack to save Arby.
My favorite part that they excluded from the movie is when the little girl meets a baby triceratops and decides ‘Yes, you are my friend now. I love you.’ And then the Mom comes up. Not really scary to most, but I was very worried
And then it got its head stuck in the grate, which made it upset, _which upset Mom._ I'm surprised the kids managed to disentangle the calf's head before the cow started punching holes in the feeder.
Happy Halloween Klayton!! The Novels absolutely are a horror show. For my personal list (if I had one) Ed Regis being played with before eaten by the juvie Rex like a Cat does to a Mouse before killing it. Another scene I found really disturbing was when in the Lost World novel after taking down a Hadrosaur the Raptor pack ends up devouring a smaller Raptor for trying to get in the way of the kill. I found that seriously disturbing and so real at the same time.
MasterVideoStudios : the total viciousness of those raptors was so frightening. No structure to that species, just the most savage surviving without any new little ones to grow up into adult. They ate their own kind’s eggs, hatchlings and the young that managed to survive for a short length of time, even if they were not hungry. They were not adults but actually pre-adulthood (teens, as it were).
Klayton fioriti at my school we do book reports and presented it to the class so i did a book report on the lost world novle and it scard the crap out of some of my 8th grade classmates and some were surprised I described some of the scary novle scenes from the lost world book and did some good looking drawing to make it scarier my teacher siad she was scared and interested and i got a good grade in it now am going to do a book report on the first novel jurassic park. Thanks klayton for recommending these books I really love them.
I loved the movies as a kid but when I got older and read the books I just couldn’t get over how brutal the freaken deaths were. Henry wu death was one that was particularly brutal to me
honestly one scene that i had a hard time getting through was the very first construction worker killed by a raptor! not only the visuals of the wounds but also the torture the poor man goes through like spasms and projectile vomiting blood. i think it’s odd that no one talks about it since it’s, in my opinion, one of the most graphic moments in the book
I enjoy all your videos. Great descriptions. I too am a fan of the books as well as the movies. Like you I grew up watching the movies, seeing both jurassic park and lost world in theaters. I remember how loud the t rex roar was in the theater. Keep up the great work brother. Bless you.
Nedry’s death in the book has haunted me since I first read it over 20 years ago, and also the prelude scene where the boy who had the “backhoe accident” is seizing and barfing blood on the hospital floor, that shite still gives me chills, in the best way!
5:57 It's incredible. Cathy Bowman the British girl who was attacked by Procompsognathus in an island was so lucky to survive from her own wounds and the attack happened to her, others before her weren't so lucky.
The part in the books where Tim tosses the baby raptor into the group of adults hoping it will distract them, and then the adults RIP the baby to pieces as it screams really messed me up. I’m pretty sure I cried the first time I read that part.
I hated that part, to.
calliezcool I agree
That poor baby raptor
What the fuck were those raptors doing what the fuck
I did
My "Oh sh**" moment was when in the book the updated animal count for the velociraptors went from 8 to 37.
I love that scene so much, in the span of just a few moments they realize that thanks to a technical error they are royally fucked.
Yes, they only programmed the computer to count the number expected, so once that max number was reached - - the extra ones were not listed!!
Those “oh shit we’re fucked” moments are so much scarier then a jumpscare
Yes, exactly this. It's something only a novel could depict with that magnitude and I'll take that one chapter over anything depicted in the movies hands down.
yup me too lol
Something that terrified me too about nedry’s death was how absolutely disorienting it was and the fact that he had gone completely blind
He was even alive the moment he was dying,
And the fact that he felt like daggers we're being stabbed into his skull from the pain of the venom. Every moment he wasted not getting back into his car was gut wrenching and frustrating.
@@Mariawasnthere I think everyone is alive the moment before they die haha. Did you mean conscious?
That chapter gave me nightmares for weeks... and I could not stop reading that chapter over and over again as a kid.
@@dannya1854 actually the feeling of daggers being stabbed into him was from dilophosourus biting his head and lifting him up by it
The death of Jon Hammond. So close to the road where other survivors were, yet too far to be heard. And the way he just drifted off due to the compys bite having a lidocaine effect. All because a twisted ankle. Its not horror scary, but a deep seeded fear of dying helplessly, so close to being saved.
Jamie Monoxide Yeah. Would’ve been worse if Book Hammond was the same “sweet old grandpa” that he was in the movie
Epic Ocelot Man : a good point 👍👍 it is ironic too that he ended up in that predicament, as his grandkids were playing with the controls of a recorded T-Rex roar that scared Hammond so much that he ran and fell.
Not compys procompsognathus not compys
yes book hammond is completely asshole but movie one is the sweet old grandpa
@@Tyler35J they are their full name compy is the shortened one
King's death in The Lost World really stood out to me. He gets chased by raptors, thinks he's about to make it, then just gets knocked over, and calmly accepts he's going to die. The description of his death down to the moment he hears his own neck bones crunching in the raptor's mouth made me shudder.
for real
🥶💀
Mother of God
I would absolutely love it if they made an R-rated series that was a completely accurate adaptation of the novels
Yeah same here. I like Spielberg’s changes but a faithful, R-rated adaptation with all the gore and brutal death scenes would be amazing to watch.
Accuracy to the book doesn’t a great movie make.
James Cameron said that his plan would've been to make the movie gory and r-rated if he would've gotten the filmrights before spielberg
Honestly, The Lost World really benefits in some ways from the Changes made in the film. If I were to adapt the second novel, I'd blend the versions together. It really doesnt make sense that BioSyn arrive on the island with only three guys and not a single weapon. A big company like that would certainly also arrive with a team of heavily armed mercs
@@DiamondDead Thats James Cameron's thing though. He isnt afraid of gore. Spielberg is (or was) a great director, but hes always been too safe imo
The books are more scary then modern horror movies
Sadly pirates and dinosaurs are cute for younger audiences. Now we got Stupid dolls trying to be scary
You just made one of the BEST qoutes in the entire world!!
You're watching the wrong horrors then
@@jamesduffy7549 no, There is literally no scary horror films.
@@Carl.Henriksson how did you find time to comment on this if you watch every single one? I mean there are "literally none" and i can't think of how else you would know that. Besides, there's tons in comparison to these novels. These are not scary books or horror classics in anyway, there's potential but then some edgelord shit like kill #2 on this list happens and its like *sigh" Crichton you are trying way to fucking hard mate
Hammond's death in the novel disturbed me since I had seen the movie first. I always imagined Hammond as the nice old man he was in the movie.
The huge difference between movie and book Hammond always struck me. Richard Attenborough is such a pleasant, genial, likeable fellow that I think it made his character completely different! He actually cares for his grandkids instead of viewing them as an annoying necessity to prove the park's "suitability". His concerns lie more with achieving scientific greatness than with making money. And his stubborn inability to listen to naysayers about the park's safety concerns comes more from a dogged, childish optimism than a blatant disregard for safety over his drive to achieve a legacy before his death.
Because of all the changes to his character, I feel this has shifted much of the blame of series "villain" to Alan Wu. I found myself surprised when so many fans absolutely LOATHED Wu and were calling for an intensely grisly death for him in the next movie. But this was because I always viewed him as the reasonable scientist who got dragged along into Hammond's plans, trying to explain repeatedly along the way that there were problems and risks with the system. But I realized once you take out the element of Hammond ignoring Wu's warnings like the jack*ss he is in the novels, then so much more of the blame shifts to Dr. Wu's shoulders for the irresponsible decisions behind Jurassic Park.
It's really a shame, because while I love Hammond's character in the movie (as well as his satisfying comeuppance in the book), I always really liked Alan Wu as a character and felt he was one of the few people who tried to reign in Hammond's egomania from the very beginning. There's no telling what the park would have turned into if they had an even more immoral geneticist heading the project!
@@bluesira couldn't have said it better myself
@@bluesira Agree completely. It is by far the biggest character change in the film. Just the fact that the film version of Hammond, after his conversation with Ellie in dining room, seems to take her words to heart and accepts his responsibility for what happened. Book Hammond never did that. It was all everyone else's fault.
@@bluesira I think you're right. It's also very important that the books and the films are considered different canon, as they are both good, but different, stories.
I say hammknd got his comeupence. U play god, and ur creations rebel
I still think Genaro's attempt to reset the generators is one of the better scenes in the book. Genaro is legit a badass in the novel, going so far as to help Muldoon hunt the Tyranosaur *with a rocket launcher.*
In the movie, he was a coward who left a couple of kids to fend for themselves, he got the reward he deserved.
@@crystalgemgirl731 The book is significantly better than the movie.
@@AJadedLizard I can tell.
@@AJadedLizard That goes for both books and movies.
@@AJadedLizard For me this is one of the few cases where the novel and the movie are equally good, unlike The lost world, where I feel that the movie has a rhythm more consistent and characters like malcom has a better evolution, making it better
Another big one from the original book is the Rex stalking Grant, Tim, and Lex. The point where the Rex pushes its head through the waterfall and wraps its tongue around Tim's head and begins to drag him out is full-on terrifying.
Wasn't as good but they did include a version of the waterfall part in the second film, when the Rex eats Burke the InGen paleontologist.
That would have been so cool to see on screen! Problem is, I doubt tyrannosaur tongues were big, fleshy, or prehensile enough to actually pull that off.
they do that in lost world
@@Xbalanque84 Wouldn't have made a difference if the dinosaurs were already amalgamate monsters.
@@Xbalanque84 If they were to do a TV show, they'd have the time to properly describe how what they have created aren't actually dinosaurs, but monsters created to stock a park with something as close as they could get. It's something Book!Wu complains about constantly, and Hammond points out when he talks about one of the animals in the park being the latest version they've created.
I think one of the most scariest moments from the first novel is when the characters soon found out that the number of dinosaurs had rose.
I got chills at that point! Especially when they got to the number of Raptors! My heart sank!
that is oalso my favourite
@D Madej GOD.....!!! I thought Nazis had died. Does hitler still alive?
@@noahboss5617 live* lol
Raptors expected 8 found 37
One scene that spooked me was the part where Grant, Tim, and Lex were on the raft. They were on the jungle river and passing by two dilophosaurs doing a mating ritual. I remember the mention of the smell of sour vomit--and that matched the description of how Nedry's corpse smelled when found by Muldoon and Gennaro. It made me wonder if Nedry's corpse wasn't too far and that Grant, Tim, and Lex, just didn't see it--but smelled the decomposition.
Maybe the Dilophosaurus that killed him was trying to offer up his corpse as a gift for a potential mate?
@@beastmaster0934 that’s a possibility!
@@beastmaster0934I doubt it since Muldoon and Gennaro find Nedry’s body later, no Dilo in sight.
When Eddy gets eaten by the two T-Rex, while saving his friends. That one got to me as a kid.
Me too, man.
He gets it much worse in the book
@@michaelrussell3890 Mauled by raptors doesn't seem worse to me
@@LightStreak567 mauled? They rip him to shreds!
@@michaelrussell3890 They dragged his carcass to their nest, as I recall
One scene from the novel that really stayed with me is the death of Howard King in the Lost World novel. It was so suspense driven describing how the man was energized by only fear and how he was running as fast as he could to get to the trees. This all comes to a holt when the velociraptors catch up and tear and slash away at him.
One of the more frightening scenes from the book for me had to be when the younger T-Rex attacks a man. I forget who the character was exactly, might have been the lawyer, but the scene is freaky for how innocent it starts with the young Rex basically messing with the guy, and you know something terrible is gonna happen. Then it just maims the poor guy out of nowhere after he tried to shoo it off. It’s not super gory or anything, just suspenseful because you basically know he’s doomed.
It was a well written scene. The character’s name was Ed Regis
@@KS-sl4ji Rex eats Regis
The part that I still remember from first reading it when I was 12 is when (I think Muldoon) later finds the remains and picks up Regis' severed leg, still with sock and boot/shoe in tact, lets it drain a bit, then wraps it in paper and puts it in the Jeep.
@@beerosaurusrex I remember seeing a similar scene in the original film when I saw it in theaters. Muldoon says, "I think this was Genaro" and the camera shows a severed leg with a sock and shoe, but the scene was not in the VHS and subsequent releases. I clearly remember it and so does my dad and other family members. I have a few friends that remember it and a few that do not.
Personally I prefer someone getting eaten off a toilet. Regis death was scary but I feel like it was a let down.
Surprised they didn't include the Trex chasing them through the woods while on the river only leading to an open lake where they think it's too deep for the Rex... Until it walks in, disappears and swims towards them
I'm not surprised. Spielberg notoriously hated working with animatronics in the water since he had so many struggles filming Jaws. Even the T-Rex in the rain scene gave them major problems!
That t-rex was relentless ..
Fuck. Yes!
Connor Doyle That is very scary
budget issue.
I think the scariest part of the first book(I’m only about a 1/3 of the way done) so far is when Malcolm talks about how at some point animals figured out that humans were easy to kill. Then he asks if the Raptors have figured it out already. Literally sent chills down my back
Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: SHUT UP BEFORE THE INVESTORS HEAR!
Hammond's death scene has always been a moving one for me; the image of the fallen industrialist, scared and alone in the jungle he owned, and eaten alive by his own monstrous children, is striking. The raptor attack on the building where they're all hiding with Malcolm, particularly when they are gnawing through the bars, is super suspenseful. King's death is another one of those, "and everything went black" scenes. But the one that is truly terrifying is when King is explaining the trends in the biotech industry, and says something to the order of "if you haven't made it by the age of 35, then you're never going to make it." I read that when I was six years old, and I have been terrified of failure ever since :)
You deffo shouldn’t have read that when you were 6 😂😂
Why the heck were you reading that at six! You had every right to be scared after reading a book like that so young
Always thought it was symbolic that Hammond was killed by the animals he engineered to remove waste from his park
@@DeeRose54 oh I never noticed that, he made the compys to eat the poop, so they were allowed to kinda just roam the island, he falls down a hill and the compys eat him, symbolizing him as the waste
Don't be afraid of failure. It's just another opportunity to learn. I'm 38, and had a very successful career in the military and related fields, until I was wounded and lost my leg and a few organs, and literally died. Death didn't take though, and I came back after being declared death for 15 minutes... I was already turning cold, according to the docs. Now? I'm clawing my way back into... something. I'm still here, still alive, still fighting. Some would call what happened failure. Nah. I spent a good part of my life as a part of a worldwide community of bad motherfuckers, doing shit they make movies about... and now I have a new lesson to learn and a new purpose to discover. A new community to be a part of. I didn't lose anything from my former life... I still have all that, within and without. My friends are a big part in my recovery, urging me on in everything I do, and pointing out skills I have that I never considered (I'm a very good gunsmith, kit builder, and I'm heavily involved with the local vet community, as well as training new recruits independently)... I didn't fail, just shifted objectives.
You only fail if you give up. I someone like me can claw his way back from literal death, you can do it as well.
“When he realized he was holding his own intestines..”
Me: Heart felt weird and I practically exploded
Also, the baby death kinda almost made me cry? Just hearing about brutal baby deaths makes me very uncomfortable...
Cyan you looking sus.
@@Mafia_Bean I fed myself to a comfy pack when I heard that
I have to say the baby's death was the most impactful for me being a writer my self there are usually lines we can't break in graphic or horror such as you can't kill dogs you can't kill old people and especially you can't kill baby's but after reading that scene it taught me "no everything is fair game"
That’s why the Jurassic franchise is so awesome. Animals don’t have a conscience. It’s realistic for them to not exclude old people or babies.
That sounds pretty fake. No one has ever established "lines" writers can't cross. Numerous writers have dreamed up the deaths of innocents, kids, dogs, etc. and have been doing so for years. Maybe if you're only reading y.a. novels those lines exist.
@S O'B you right.
I personally was raised in a Mormon household and media like this was always shut out
@@MRbug_423 yeah, those are two very different things
@@josephstalin364 Although at the same time the series shifted away from them being just animals to more monsters out of a monster movie.
Not even a dinosaur scene, but the part where Sarah gets pushed into the ocean from the boat. The suspense and build up, and then the sheer terror of being in the middle of the deep ocean with who knows what beneath the surface are just fantastic. The panic of being driven towards the sharp rocks by the pounding waves, the way Sarah is tossed about and swallows water is really well written. I think it's a very underated scene in the book, and one that made me appreciate Sarah (novel Sarah Harding that is) even more as a character. I wish they had made movie Sarah like her.
Vicki Mew : that was so very intense. To me when she has only a slight chance to survive and those forceful waves are pounding her nearly against the cliff is 😱‼️ I liked her strength during that time.
Yeah and it sets up Dodgson’s death when Sarah gets her revenge you don’t feel bad for him despite his brutal death
@@s1050
Many other things set up the reader to not to feel any sadness or remorse when Dodgson dies tho.
To say nothing of Dodson just knocking her overboard out of nowhere. I was as surprised as Sarah when the sea and sky suddenly switched places and she was in freefall.
The horror-filled aspects of the novels, while obviously not adapted 100% for the films, I think gives them their most unique quality, which is that they're half horror movies. Outside of its other issues, JPIII doesn't really have any horror moments in it like the previous two films did, which both start as somewhat light-hearted before eventually spiraling into chaos and bloodshed. Combined with the scientific aspect, the novels have helped Jurassic Park from simply being "just another dinosaur movie".
I disagree. As a whole it’s the weakest film in the franchise, but the spinosaur gave some decent thrills, and the set designers used the aviary well to maximize the fright via the pteranodons.
@@curts7801 Yeah, but the elements they used in JPIII were classic 'monster movie' tropes, which is exactly what Spielberg and Crichton wanted to avoid. They said over and over again that it was a horror story with living animals, not a story about a monster. They wanted to distinguish it from stories like King Kong.
But the tropes and cliches in JPIII just ring pure monster movie to me: the 'going back to save lost person or item' cliche, the spino attack on the airplane, its relentless and vengeful pursuit of the main characters, the absurdity of talking and gloating raptors captivated with the main character; It was just all too much! While the movie had like two decent scenes, it broke WAY too many of the JP "Don't"s for me.
bluesira I confess I have completely forgotten that Crichton was hellbent on bringing realistic animal behavior to his stories. Now that you mention it, why SHOULD a very massive adult spinosaurus be chasing down a small batch of clearly highly evasive and rather small organisms? The beast should have had 2 scenes max.
@@curts7801 That's what I thought: have the spinosaurus try to slurp them out of the plane like a toothy anteater, maybe the scene where they turn & see him just standing in the field staring at them (that one was pure freaky), and the one where spinosaurus goes through the water.
I believe there was some ret-conned explanation that the spinosaurus was either A) one of the early dinosaurs with DNA/behavior modified for greater aggression, or B) it was incredibly territorial and when the plane crashed in the spinosaur's territory, it posed a threat that needed to be eliminated at all costs (much like the adult t-rexes protecting the baby rex in Lost World). Your best guess is as good as mine!
they are very cool Novels Mr Critchton
The scene where the Rex puts its tongue on the kids in the cave because it can't reach them better is the one that stuck with me the most...
The fact that she manages to wrap her tongue around Tim's head and starts pulling him towards its mouth really creates an air of hopelessness for the kids, such a good scene
Agreed, heck that whole river raft sequence is terrifying in itself.
That sounds funny
that scene was later adapted in The Lost World: Jurassic Park movie
@@CaptainWaldoe To an extent, but the scene in the book was a lot more drawn out. And.. had some questionable details. Like the T=Rex's tong being slightly forked, and acting a bit like an elephant's trunk. Yea, of all the scenes in both books, this was the one that stuck out for me as well. The description of the saliva coating the pipes as it probed, and got closer and closer to the kids... worth a read.
The deaths of all the character's in the book is just so well described
6:00 he makes a good point. In the movies recently we KNOW that the main characters are going to live from the very beginning. There's no suspense left.
The novels are REALLY goddamn horrifying.
Crichton’s depictions of just how brutal dinosaur attacks could’ve been just send chills down your spine.
And let’s not forget about the Infant’s death scene from the first novel. That’s just.... woah....
DenotheFreak apparently nostalgia critic is gonna review FK according to SHINOBI-03 it’s no his Twitter page what do you think of this?
Jacob Arnold I don’t care
This is actually is the one part I "flip through" when I re-read the novel. It's just so damn brutal. But I also have a "practical" problem with it, SIDS? Seriously, an infant is eaten alive by compys and you try to pass it off as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome? That's not how it works when a child suffers from SIDS. The parents would demand the childs body for burial and I think they would take notice.
Vollification Yeah That was kinda wonky. Still didn’t diminish the terrifying spectacle before it...
@@johndogscorner9631 Agreed, it didn't. And it works quite well with the overall situation in Costa Rica described in the novel in relation to the "Isla Nublar incident". It is "sci-fi", different rules apply. Also you have to take into account "what else are you supposed to say"? "A bunch of strange bird-like lizards killed your child"? That wouldn't really work either. It would seem so outlandish that the nurse would be labled as the killer instead.
The death of Howard King in The Lost World is one of my favorites. “He had a moment of surprise when he felt the bones of his neck crunching loudly-
And then blackness.
Nothing.”
Dinosaur chiropractic adjustment
You just triggered the childhood memories
Oh my
One of the most memorable parts from the book honestly
Man I felt sorry for King. He was so close to surviving and getting back to the boat.
I always find the scene in which Grant and the kids have to sneak past the sleeping Rex and set the raft in the river to be incredibly tense in the first novel.
A section from the second book I enjoy is Sarah and Dodgson stuck under the jeep as the T Rex approaches.
With Sarah pushing his legs out so the T Rex can drag him away, oh that was a good one, it freaked me right out.
@April Zhan AGREED; I just sat there thinking; 'Oh Sarah... Sarah no you wouldn't... oh my gosh, you did....'
@April Zhan I was lucky enough to see the movie first, and then be blown away by the novel. I would love to see that novel onscreen.

@@gkirk54 Well of course; he's the bad guy! He pushed Sarah off a boat! It was realizing that the situation was dire enough that the Good Guy would push someone out to the T Rex that made me think OHHHH NOOO IT JUST GOT REAL.
Thank you for recognizing how much more scarier the books are. When Crichton goes into description of how they could smell the T-rexs' breath smelled of blood and decay like a predators would because of how close it got to them, it sent chills up my back.
Also, the scene In Jurassic world when the indominous is trying to sniff out Grady and you could see the blood and chunks of fresh and old meat in its teeth, I immediately though back to that scene in the book.

The scene when they discover the increasing number of the dinosaurs has always stood out to me. It's not necessarily the scariest, but it's one of the moments where one would say "Oh crap" over and over again as it goes on.
SHINOBI-03 I hope they add these scenes in JW3 also there are 2 criticisms you missed in your JP3 video is that the animatronics are stiff and the CGI is blurry.

Oh hey! wasn´t expecting to see you here!
ShadowCim me neither.
Exactly! The way the suspense rose as the number of Compies and Raptors increased was terrifying!
Yeah, that was horror in numbers, not just on the computer screen but also the idea that there's WAY more dinos on the island than they had intended, setting a precedent of more to come down the line that could go wrong due to InGen oversight.
We need r rated dinosaur flicks not kids stuff I mean films as disturbing as the things on this magnificent list
I like the PG-13 as well. I honestly think that they should do a remake. Both a PG-13 and an R-rated version of this story deserve to exist.
(but of course they should first finish the Jurassic World trilogy)
nah, forget it...first of all i want a conclusion on the main 2 trilogies...then after that i would like some sort of prequel/seperate movie taking place in the same universum and getting a R rating...and even that is a maybe, since watching the jurassic park and jurassic world movies....really, i love movies like "the thing" and "get out" and zombie movies and the walking death and i think those are perfect thanks to their gore, but never once while watching any of the JP or JW movies i was thinking to myself "this needs more gore to be a better movie"
If anything i rather have more character development, more talks about certain specific things as to how the park was build and on how the main characters in the JW movies end up where they are in the end, and see more dino action.
@@13thmistral I don't think it has to necessarily be about the gore, more about being stalked by a pack of troodons, or hearing a velociraptor screech far away, then some rustling in the bushes, and a velociraptor jumping you from behind. But apart from that I agree with you, the horror shouldn't take away character development and those deeper kinds of things.

@@mitchellellis1437 Hold up.

Only someone like Crichton with a medical background and a flair for the dramatic could turn our stomachs like he did!
I remember reading the first novel in elementary school and being VERY shocked at how different in tone the book was compared to the movie. Sure there was some scary parts in the movie (that damn Dilophosaurus scared the crap out of me as a kid), but the book was legitimately terrifying. Still loved the book.
Me too, I was especially shocked by Dennis Nedry and Henry Wu’s death.
I read it in fifth grade, and I was terrified! It was not what I expected at all, and it gave me nightmares.
Well it's because as he said everyone should be fair game and in the books they were not to mention the point the protagonists were brought too in the books literally feeding babies to velocorapters just to stay alive like actually dinos
“That damn Dilophosaurus scared the crap outta me as a kid” Very well said, love that.

In my school there’s these kids who chanted “ Harry Potter sucks Harry Potter sucks” and me being me I just kept walking in a circle thinking meh I’m gonna call them the Harry Potter sucks cult idk why but I just do
"Brutal." - Nathan Explosion, Metalpocalypse
I watched the last season of camp cretaceous. Now I'm gay.
Pansy.
I found the scene where Tim and Lex get stuck outside the control room with the raptors creeping towards them quite tense. Same with the kitchen that, in the novel, is actually pitch dark due to the power outage and forces Tim to navigate it with his night vision goggles just to stand a chance against what's hunting him.
i got the silence of the lambs vibes from that :D
Most definitely, the scenes that scared me the most were the Camouflage Carnos (I was genuinely terrified when i read it) and the following scene where the raptors arrive and almost kill all of the group before they escape, clawing through the thin plywood walls and breaking through a door.
They included the Camo-Carno as a boss fight in one of the Jurassic Park arcade games and it's one of my favorite memories from my childhood.
Howard King & Lewis Dodgson's deaths in The Lost World are haunting. King, I actually felt extremely sad and sympathetic towards because the guy did not deserve what he got, and just Crichton's description of his final moments were unlike anything I ever read for a character death. The man's knowledge from the medical field opens your eyes to some concepts and details you wish you never knew. And Dodgson's death was just brutal. I can't even imagine being in a situation like that.
Kings final moments will haunt me forever
What was Dodgson’s final moments? 😅
he gets carried by the momma Rex back to her nest, where the baby T.Rex waits.
He tries to escape, but the Rex just breaks his leg, and then stands over him, letting the baby eat in peace. Slowly. @@monssterific

That was a brutal one including Dennis Nedry’s final moments, I became interested with the novel after reading from the comments here in UA-cam that Jurassic Park novels were a lot horror than in the movies. Thank you for your reply
Love that you included the bit from the Sega game, where the T-Rex picks up the car and shakes it and the guy goes “Ahhhh!”.
I never could beat that game, for a kid’s game, it was damn difficult.
For the humans, I kept dying on the raft.
For the raptors, I kept dying at the power plant.
With Grant, I got stuck at the sewer level or the Canyon, but either way: one picture in the paper manual showed the code tot the next level and allowed me to finish the game.
That game scared the hell out of me and it was damn hard too! Lol the raft part sucked so much ass
I remember somehow beating the game as Grant...the final fight with the raptors is a beast, and so many of the platforming parts just don't make immediate sense (you're climbing the Rex skeleton in at least one part of it). The raft wasn't really a problem for me, primarily through rote memorization. I just learned every trap point in the path, and got myself ready to do things like toss the flash grenade at the Rex, and then just gunned it out of that spot as fast as I could.
The Power Plant stage as the raptor was my sticking point, too, IIRC. A shame, since I really wanted to see what came of beating the game as the raptor.
Couldn’t play that game as a kid.
But I would just turn it on just see that awesome intro, and to hear the music being played while it tells you your objective while showing the whole island.
I would say I am surprised there were no mentions of any scenes in the book with the raptors. Because holy heck, those raptors if they were scary in the movies they are demons in the book. Even worse is they fact there are eight, instead of three.
eight? try 37
@@MrKillerman47 I got this refference LOL
You beat meto telling him off
The part where the raptors were biting the railings off from the window at the top of the room where everyone was. The stench that they gave off, and their salivas dripping off of the heavily dazed Ian Malcolm. That was f*ckin scary
One that got me was Ellie getting to the roof of the building and thinking she’s safe, only to have the raptors maneuver up the trees to get to the roof. When you get to a place and think you’re safe, only to find out you really aren’t.
When Klayton does his audiobook voice, all the read out scenes are scary..
I couldn't agree more. I'm especially fond of his visual narration of Ray Arnold's death.
Me: “think happy thoughts”
Also Me: “Zara was planning her wedding”
She wasn't even that bad of a person for a side-character
Lol why would planning a wedding stop disaster from happening?
Suing for Intelligence Still, it shows that she had things that she never got to do. It’s just so unfair, you know?
Umbra The Raptor yeah and that happens to everyone at some point in their life. Lol
@@ericolsen5592 stupid reason
I really like the waterfall scene with Tim. he stayed so calm as the t rex used its muscular tongue to literally drag him towards its jaws.
Big shoutout to book Muldoon for unknowingly saving Tim and Lex's lives!
I just got the book yesterday, I’m more than halfway through already! I can’t put it down! I’m 27 years old and have LOVED JP since I was a little kid. I can’t believe it took me this long to read the book, thank you sir for convincing me to finally read it.👍🏻
5:00 Hahahaha I remember some delivery guy brought some Mattel toy's for James and he opened the door and went" Hello there" and the delivery guy didn't even question the Hammond costume Hahahaha.
That's gaming beaver.....

Baby rex playing with the lawyer before eating him as they watch from where they are hiding.
It wasn't the lawyer his name is Donald genaro her survived and is a very good character in the book it was ed Regis who was killed by the baby rex he worked at Jurassic park.
@@frazzs9012 Right, the juvenile T rex killed Ed Regis who was the park's PR guy that Hammond roped into playing tour guide.
This would be my suggestion...
Yup. This scene was so fucked because for a couple moments you thought he MIGHT make it out.
@@Basileus127 yeah dude when we first meet Ed Regis on the small costal town medical centre trying to help the worker that got torn to shreds by the raptor , you see hell do anything for Jurassic parks publicity including covering up that attack , I love these books!
Steven Spielberg will always be famous and will be acknowledged for directing one of the best film adaptations of the original Jurassic Park novel and bring to the screen one of the greatest films ever made. However Spielberg also has his major drawbacks, in the hands of another director the more horrific elements from Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park novelizations. would've been adapted rather than be altered because of Spielberg's preference to make things more widescale and family friendly. Spielberg was also criticized for making John Hammond (Sir Richard Attenborough) too Walt Disney like? Rather than the ruthless businessman with few morals other than making a fortune, as he was in the original novel.
Nerd : have you read them by now? Wondering what you think?
Well he wanted to make a family action film, kind of like Indiana Jones
Spielberg is a hack. I wish the first movie had been directed by someone who can, you know, direct.
I love the dark and brutal horror elements of the novels but Spielberg made the right choice. Jurassic Park is a timeless classic and a world famous family friendly movie because he made those changes. If he made it into an r-rated gory and brutal horror movie, it would not have been as successful.
Someone else might have gotten the more horror elements of the book nailed, but it wouldn't have had the sense of wonder and awe that Spielberg along with John William's score imbued the films with. I think the films still have plenty of pretty violent moments, to remind us these dinosaurs are not to be taken lightly. As a kid I could barely barely watch the movie as it scared me shitless during the intense moments. The film really captures the child-like wonder and yet terror of nature.
Read both books. The dinosaur violence was definitely toned down in the movies. The Costa Rican baby's death continues to stick in mind to this day. "Gargoyles"
Also, wasn't Nedry's disembowelled and chewed body discovered later, blue entrails and all?
Yes. Nedry’s death was gory and graphic and exactly what you wrote-his mangled corpse is found later. Arnold finds it on video, and Gennaro and Muldoon see the actual body.
The carno scene was my favorite. The fact that the T rex was real nervous going thru and the raptors wouldn't even go in there made it so ominous.
shame that the Indominus rex already stole Carnotaurus' thunder by giving it the camouflage ability in the movie before they decided to finally bring Carno in Fallen Kingdom. It would have made that animal more memorable
Lil late but my guess is the jw movies didnt want to give the "normal" dinosaurs any unnatural powers or abilities so that the hybrids can get more shock and aw value.
Also can't have any dinosaurs stealing the Rex's spotlight.
i do not see how ever though why they would not impement a camouflaging carnotaurus still though ?
could still happen...personally i am afraid it wont, but nothing says the carnotaurus can actually not camouflage.
I'm certain that the great Crichton would have found a way to make the I-rex truly horrifying if he had lived to write a book called Jurassic World.
@@linkofvev Spinosaurus
Indominus Rex
Indoraptor
They all stole Rexy's spotlight...
The death of Nedry is probably the one that got to me the most, even hearing it for the second time gave me chills, but other than that I think the way Dobbsin died in the lost world was pretty scary too, I know they kind of went over it with the way Ludlow dies at the end of the second movie, but I think the way they portrayed it in the book was much scarier. The way he tried to grasp at anything he could, digging and clawing at the muddy ground under the car with all his might as Sarah Harding pushed him out and the rex grabbing him by the leg pulling him into its jaws, then once at the nest the adult rex's make sure he can not get away by blocking both sides and snapping one of his legs, or was it both I cant remember now, before the juvenile jumps on his chest and tears at his face
Yeah nedry had the most brutal death to me in the first novel.
I think out of all the characters Nedry was the most similar to his movie counterpart.
I was like 10 when I read Jurassic Park for the first time and I was scared for weeks after reading Nedry’s death. Plus in the book the dilophosaur is like 10 foot or something scary as hell.
7:45 Jeez, this animation is scary, just as you said about the book.
7:52 And that rex Sprite!
What game was that?
Jurassic park on megadrive, or genesis whichever you call it. It was such a good game you can play as either grant or a raptor
Jurassic Park for SEGA Genesis
@@benschultz1784 it was one of the best games of that time I think I absolutely loved it
I was actually scared
What I like about the books is that it captures the horror of what it would be like to live side by side with these animals. If they one day remake these movies, I'd like to see them be true adaptations of the books.
And the horror of being eaten alive
A personal favorite of mine is when Regis is in the woods attempting to fight off the juvenile T Rex and we hear his demise from Grant's perspective
Honestly, nothing beats the baby scene from the first novel. It just.... disturbs me. It's probably because I actually like babies versus other human beings, but still.
I think even if you don’t like kids it still disturbing to read about something so innocent go through something so brutal
@@lanenet9603 agreed. It’s just so terrifying.
And the fact it had to be called a death syndrome or something similar
I can Hardly even hear about bad stuff happening to kids now that I have them. Just really wrecks me and I avoid it at all costs.
I never read the novels, so you can imagine how learning of the baby's death in the novel caught me off guard. If I were to mention my horror at learning of the child orgy scene in Stephen King's original IT novel that thankfully never made it to the movies, that's how horrified I was at this scene, I can never unsee it..
For me, one of the scariest moments was when they checked the program checking the number of dinosaurs in the park, believing the program to be checking the total number of dinosaurs in the park. In reality it was programmed incorrectly to only search for the desired (or expected) number of dinosaurs in the park. Then when it was recalibrated or rewritten to work as intended (meaning to search for the total number) and the count of all the dinosaurs increased by quite a bit.
It's not as gorey or as violent as a lot of the other scenes, but seeing it visualized and written in such a way you are going along with the revelation with the characters reach, definitely got my heart beating faster.
I'm a big fan of the films, but the novels are something else entirely and worth as much, if not more praise.
I think it's less that it was programmed "incorrectly" and more that the dinosaurs were never supposed to breed in the first place. It was programmed exactly how they wanted, which was to ensure none of their creatures went missing. They never thought to set it for a total count of all dinosaurs, since to them it was more likely for one to die than for extras to exist.
One of my favourite moments in the books has always been one in the second novel, just after Sarah Harding arrives on the island and she happens upon a bunch of raptors fighting over a dead animal.
Nothing has ever made me realize how brutal raptors are as much as when the older ones ripped the young one's guts right open and started eating him.
Always gave me chills.
Like the roving gangs of teenage elephants murdering rhinos in African preserves a few years back. Without adults to establish a cohesive social hierarchy and etiquette, it's _Lord of the Flies._
In the first novel when I read about the 3 Procompsognathus that had intruded into a hospital and snuck their way into the baby room where a nurse walked in and saw the three of them huddled together eating a baby’s face off.
Ooh that spooked me!
Still one of my favorite books of all time. Michael crighton was one of the best authors in my opinion. Jurassic park was a masterpiece of originality and thrilling adventures in a horrific setting. I wish I could have met him. He inspired me to tell stories.
Nedry's novel demise and the baby compy victim stunned my the most :(
I'm totally shooked right now...and I really want a Hard R rated remake or series. The current state of the films are very family friendly but can be suspenseful however, the 1st film feels a bit more horror like though.
Anyways, I want to read these books now! I hope there are more horrifying events than just the ones stated above.
The Jurrasic P/W movies are most peoples first taste of horror as a kid. if anything i like how camp cretaceus is going more kid focused , main series is pg or pg 13, and we can get some stand alone jurassic r rated movies were the dinosaurs that were purchased or escaped can kill people.
Did you ever read them?
Sarah Harding observing the raptors kill in the lost world was a scene that stuck with me. They were so savage and the idea of crazy raptors is truly terrifying
I always thought the river scene was the scariest from the first book. The TRex swimming and catching up to the raft is so terrifying
The part that got me the most tense in the first book was when Ellie left their shelter to lure in the raptors. It's been a while since I read the book so I don't remember exactly what happened, but those raptors were relentless!
You mean the part where Dr. Henry Wu got eviserated? He was trying to warn her that the raptors were playing along to distract her, while another found a way over the fence to ambush her. That part was creepy not just because of his death, but because of how smart they were in tricking her.
Personally I liked the way how incredibly more vicious the raptors were in the books, in the first book they straight up tear a youngling apart in the play pen looking for comfort from its adult counterparts and it screaming while its legs get torn off.
i think the baby veloceraptor getting killed by that other ones from the first book is the most gruesome and in my opinion scariest thing in the series
The part where Tim used the steaks to lure the raptor into the freezer was quite suspenseful in the book
There are so many unsettling scenes in the books but the one that really set my heart racing was the reveal of the camouflaged carnotaurus's. They kept alluding to the fact that even the t-rex and raptors were avoiding that area and I kept wondering what was up with that. Then Thorne goes out for gasoline and starts piecing it all together and you realize the two carnotaurus have been there silently watching the whole time. I thought he was done for.
Most underrated scene IMO is when they first see the Raptor paddock. I haven't read the first novel in years but as I recall, Timmy or maybe Gennaro says something witty and sarcastic about the Raptors. The security worker watching them tells him sternly "be thankful for the fence". Something about that entire scene and the workers attitude and inability to even joke about them stayed in my mind for years. Especially that line
It was Malcolm...when the worker described them striking the fences repeatedly (probing for weaknesses, as we found out later) Malcolm said "Not too bright, are they?"
My favorite scary scene is in the second book when a pack of raptors roll a guy stuck in a predator cage into the jungle.
PB Lobster thanks for reminding of that scene !!!
Sorry that I missed your post before I did mine. I usually look to see if someone posted something I want to comment about, before I actually do mine. I didn’t scroll down enough. 🤭 oops 🤦♀️ I claim it was a senior moment, sort of like a brain lapse.
Hands down, my favorite scene out of both books, has to be that moment when Muldoon is in the drainage tube with an empty rocket launcher, hoping that a raptor doesn't come around and bite him in the butt, because he didn't have a chance to check the other end of the tube before stuffing himself in. It's suspenseful and terrifying, and yet humerus in a rather cynical way.
Akalilly : oh yes, I had forgotten that part. Glad that you mentioned it,
For me, the whole sequence in the book where a bunch of characters (I forget precisely who) are stuck in the hotel/visitor center while the raptors get closer and closer to breaking in scared the hell out of me. Made me think of a classic horror movie scene with the killer trying to outsmart the victim and get into the house but so much scarier.
The books are super dark lol Hammond didn’t even like his grandchildren 😂he just used them in the book, for his own benefit.
He seemed more passionate about the damn ginger ice cream.
@@emmysgamehub lmao
I was under the impression that the crew of the ship in The Lost World was wiped out by some camouflage dinos that had stowed away, but that they didn't have the tech to pull it off at the time of the film. Also fully agree with you about recommending the books I was not prepared for how good they were.
Trevor better add some of these in the 6th film.
Fang it’s J bayona at the controls now because of poor Zara’s death scene.
@@tripplestryke245 The I think these scenes have a better chance of making it in the 6th one.
Still...he’s not the director
Lotta ppl thought her death was sexist ironic some say her death was making up for the guy deaths still brutal either way
😐🤨
Each time I watch these videos, I love Jurassic Park more and more
Honestly as terrifying as the novels can be my favorite park of the first novel was how Alan actually goes toe to toe with the raptors inside the visitor center actually outsmarting them with poisoned eggs
7:51 I don't know why, but there's just so insanely unnerving about the T.Rex just slowly sliding into the frame...
As -they- I always say...
"If your edible, you're on the menu."
To add to the T.rex main road attack, just before the breakout with Tim seeing it with his night vision goggles and only when there's a lightning flash, like in Fallen Kingdom and then have it just stand there for a certain amount of time is overall scary to imagine. The deaths of Nedry and Arnold are both intense and suspenseful, and I remember the scene with Diego being killed and that moment was scary too because the character couldn't see the attacking dinosaurs and only hear them communicate back and forth.
Scary scenes, like my mom coming towards me with a belt.

@S billings 😨😨😨
Yeah, I need to go ahead and just order these books. Should have read them in high school like I had planned.
Do it. These books are awesome.
I read this in elementary
@@javierbejarano771 Who the hell let you read these in elementary? They would have seriously fucked me up at that age.
I read them in the 6th and 7th grade and it definitely accelerated my maturity.
The film and the book still scare the living hell out of me. The idea of animals like this living millions of years ago scares me but the idea of these things being brought back scares me even more.
The sceen in TLW when R.B (Arby) locks himself in the predator cage and the raptors manage to pull it down from the High hide and carry it off. That one really got my heart pumping with the story swapping between Kelly and Sarah going after the raptor that had the key and Thorn and Levine chasing after the rest of the pack to save Arby.
My favorite part that they excluded from the movie is when the little girl meets a baby triceratops and decides ‘Yes, you are my friend now. I love you.’ And then the Mom comes up. Not really scary to most, but I was very worried
And then it got its head stuck in the grate, which made it upset, _which upset Mom._ I'm surprised the kids managed to disentangle the calf's head before the cow started punching holes in the feeder.
The audio books for these are great, really feel the chills and horrors. Definitely would recommend
As terrifying as they are, they're beautiful
Oh so THAT'S where the camouflaging Carno from the arcade game came from!
YUP!
The creepiest scene imo is when ellie tries to distract the raptors, but actually the raptors are distracting her
Happy Halloween Klayton!!
The Novels absolutely are a horror show. For my personal list (if I had one) Ed Regis being played with before eaten by the juvie Rex like a Cat does to a Mouse before killing it. Another scene I found really disturbing was when in the Lost World novel after taking down a Hadrosaur the Raptor pack ends up devouring a smaller Raptor for trying to get in the way of the kill. I found that seriously disturbing and so real at the same time.
Yo Ed was a douche
@@tommycallahan9414 yeah he was.
MasterVideoStudios : the total viciousness of those raptors was so frightening. No structure to that species, just the most savage surviving without any new little ones to grow up into adult. They ate their own kind’s eggs, hatchlings and the young that managed to survive for a short length of time, even if they were not hungry. They were not adults but actually pre-adulthood (teens, as it were).
Klayton fioriti at my school we do book reports and presented it to the class so i did a book report on the lost world novle and it scard the crap out of some of my 8th grade classmates and some were surprised I described some of the scary novle scenes from the lost world book and did some good looking drawing to make it scarier my teacher siad she was scared and interested and i got a good grade in it now am going to do a book report on the first novel jurassic park. Thanks klayton for recommending these books I really love them.
lol
hey you can do it this year for 9th grade! XD
7:52 nightmare fuel
I can barely think of something more scary, seriously the music and all that made it frightening as hell.
"Ahhhh!"
I loved the movies as a kid but when I got older and read the books I just couldn’t get over how brutal the freaken deaths were. Henry wu death was one that was particularly brutal to me
honestly one scene that i had a hard time getting through was the very first construction worker killed by a raptor! not only the visuals of the wounds but also the torture the poor man goes through like spasms and projectile vomiting blood. i think it’s odd that no one talks about it since it’s, in my opinion, one of the most graphic moments in the book
yeah, just bugs the hell out of me theres no floor anchors or anything else equally obvious to stop a big strong dino throwing a cage backwards....
I know right? That book scene was creepy and mysterious.
The raptor nest scene in the first novel was scary for me. Still love it
I enjoy all your videos. Great descriptions. I too am a fan of the books as well as the movies. Like you I grew up watching the movies, seeing both jurassic park and lost world in theaters. I remember how loud the t rex roar was in the theater. Keep up the great work brother. Bless you.
Nedry’s death in the book has haunted me since I first read it over 20 years ago, and also the prelude scene where the boy who had the “backhoe accident” is seizing and barfing blood on the hospital floor, that shite still gives me chills, in the best way!
This was my favorite of your videos and I was shocked at these gory deaths and can't wait to read the books. Thank you!
5:57 It's incredible. Cathy Bowman the British girl who was attacked by Procompsognathus in an island was so lucky to survive from her own wounds and the attack happened to her, others before her weren't so lucky.
